Maybe we need a website stating no fee or a scan of the magazine. they also mentioned that even though AAA is a national organization, each region operates independent of each other, so if mid-west is offering the promotion, the Carolinas may not.
Thanks for the first truly useful post in the thread. I second the notion that we need something tangible to prove this offer really exists.

Probably reading the original thread @ SD helps:

Where are you seeing this offer? I'd be happy to swing by my local AAA to see if offer is available at their offices and then post what I uncover, but would prefer to take some sort of info to back my inquiry.

Sorry, I did not see this sooner.

It in the November/December 2013 issue of AAA World magazine (MidAtlantic division).

Not available in most areas...

The gift cards?
How are you able to determine that?"

Data Point:

I just opened the "AAA Horizons" magazine I received this week (AAA Southern New England)

I have a 1-page advertisement for "Fee-Free" AmEx GC's (purchase fee waived when buying 5 or more cards) Offer valid 11/1 - 12/31

Looks like an offer that varies by region.

Looks like we are at least making progress.
Maybe someone start a thread wiki of regions with success and regions that were not successful.

ntjane66, I am glad you were able to get you one and then go liquidate through WM MO. that is a .14 cents a point. Not a bad deal at all. Did they mention any limits on how many, how much, of anything of that nature? If not, its time to pour the gravy train out till christmas

Went back to get more gc. Told by clerk they process as cash advance. I will have to check account.

#1 references the in-store deal I can't get my scanner to scan the ad, but I'll keep trying!

I could see that if it was an on-line order, but in the store it really *should* be a purchase, how would the CC company know you were buying a Gift Card and not making a payment on a vacation?

Definitely regional, I just called my local AAA branch office, they only stock AmEx, not Visa GC's.

1. I CAN purchase these with my CC in store
2. This brings my CPP down a little, but this ends up being not as profitable (for me) as doing AmEx through a CB portal and liquidating.

I read my AAA magazine (for Florida) and there was no ad for fee-free GCs.

much appreciated. It seems like some areas are Visa cards fee free and some are Amex fee free and some are neither.

Maybe if we take the scan they will match it?
